I'm dubious of the "walking again" claims though. Sure it's awesome he's regained feeling - that's the story here. But his so-called walking is between parallel bars or with a walker, both with full calipers. Complete paraplegics can do this by just swinging their legs, and it looks like what this guy was doing. They showed him lying on a bed, I wish they'd show just what leg movement - if any - he's regained.
The article quotes 500 flips to get 9 in a row. I'm not sure how many flips this took but Derren Brown gets 10 in a row. Notable camera cut after the intro but the 10 heads seems genuine.
They used to strongly discourage adding non-friends.
I remember when adding people you had to enter something for "How did you meet this person?" and if you checked "I don't know them", it would close the box and say "Well why are you adding them?"
Some great points here but just because this applied to this guy doesn't mean every point is a catch-all for sick people.
2. I SHOULD BE GOING NOW. You’ll never go wrong by uttering these five words while visiting someone who’s sick.
I spent 11 months in hospital after a spinal cord injury and every time, I hated when my mates were about to leave. Having visitors can be the only form of escapism.
Also, "You look great". Maybe you do? I get this a lot. People say it behind my back too, i.e. "Hey I saw him the other day he's looking great", which feels awesome because in my mind I look like shit.
On coffeescript and sass, I guess I'm just a blind-following zombie fanboy that does whatever the Rails team tells me. I moved all my javascript to coffeescript and css to sass, it was love at first sight and in my mind it was the best decision ever. I know it was all available long before 3.1, I had played with both but never in real projects, and having it baked-in makes it easy for me.
I guess I'm basically just an end user, I like to use technology that's vouched-for and I trust the Rails team. Rails suits me.
No downvotes from me. I've had two iMac HDDs die, lots of friends' too. My heart sunk when I found out about special temp sensor, I live a long way from any Apple repair centre.
As for Lion, it's anyone's guess whether we'll get a burnable/USBable DMG or not...
